Grab your sombrero because we are getting ready to embark on a Mexican flavour adventure with these crispy quesadillas with pork carnitas filling!

The ground pork is slow-cooked on the stove in a zesty concoction of orange juice, jalapenos, and onions. This extra tender meat is then shredded, lightly pan-fried, smothered in cheese, encased in a flour tortilla and baked to crispy golden goodness.
Are you hungry yet?

Depending on how much meat and cheese you cram into these, you can get anywhere from 4 to 6 quesadillas. These are sure to be a hit!

Crispy Quesadillas with Pork Carnitas Filling

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of ground pork
  • 3 cups of orange juice
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 jalapenos, halved with seeds/stems still attached
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons of chilli powder
  • 4-6 plain flour tortillas
  • 3 cups of cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Oil, as needed for coating tortillas

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients (except for tortillas, cheese, and oil) into a large pot and cook on low for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
  2. Remove pork from liquid and let cool.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove enough jalapenos and onions from the pot to use on the quesadillas. Remove the seeds/stems from jalapenos and slice them into smaller pieces. Set aside.
  4. Reserve 1 cup of broth. Discard the rest along with any remaining peppers and onions.
  5. Add the reserved broth to pork and lightly mix. The meat will absorb the liquid.
  6. Put the pork into a medium-sized frying pan and cook on medium heat until lightly crispy and golden brown, stirring often. Remove from heat.
  7. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
  8. Take 2 tortillas and brush one side of each with oil. Lay oil-side down on the baking sheet.
  9. Top half of each tortilla with a thick layer of cheese, followed by a generous amount of pork. Arrange reserved onions and jalapenos on top of the pork. Cover with more cheese.
  10. Fold over the other half of each tortilla; lightly press together, so it stays closed.
  11. Bake for 6 minutes on each side.
  12. Remove from oven. Cut into 4’s and serve with sour cream.
